Man accused of attempted armed robbery

The Columbia Police Department arrested Antoine S. Jordan, 32, on Thursday afternoon on suspicion of first-degree robbery and armed criminal action after he allegedly robbed a teen at gunpoint.

Officers were dispatched to an assault call at Hickman High School, where a 17-year-old boy reported that Jordan attempted to rob him at gunpoint at a home on Wilkes Boulevard, according to CPD spokeswoman Bryana Larimer. Information provided by Larimer did not indicate when the robbery occurred.

CPD found Jordan at the home identified by the teen, Larimer wrote, where officers conducted a search that turned up two guns, including one that matched the description of the gun used during the robbery.

Jordan was in the Boone County Jail on Friday on a $100,000 bond. He did not have an attorney listed in online court records.
